Hey folks, 66 here. Got hit with Mantle Cell Lymphoma about 7 years back and have been keeping an eye on it with regular blood tests. Then, boom, a couple of weeks ago, this big lump just showed up out of nowhere. My doc's talking about starting chemo and laid out my options: Rituximab with Bendamustine or throwing Cytarabine into the mix as well. If anyone's been down this road and can share their experience or advice, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks a ton!

"Rituximab and Bendamustine are often used together as a standard treatment for mantle cell lymphoma, and adding cytarabine can enhance the effectiveness of the regimen in some cases. However, the choice ultimately depends on various histological disease factors, the stage of your disease, your overall health, and potential side effects. It's important to discuss with your doctor about the pros and cons and how they fit your individual situation. Some patients have reported side effects like mouth sores, flu-like symptoms, headaches, hair loss and generally an increased risk of infections from using Cytarabine."
